August 4, 2004: This site is hopelessly out of date. Please access info and links with caution. I will be updating this site in the next few months. I apologize for any confusion or frustration! --Linda

My goal was to be as inclusive as possible with regards to
biracial/interracial issues, including not so pleasant URLs. If you come
across one that you think should be included (or if you have a page you'd
like me to add), e-mail me at absherl@yahoo.com

Info on Interracial Dating/Marriage/Relationships

For the past few months I've been receiving more and more requests for
info interracial relationships! The interest is gratifying, but
unfortunately due to the fact that I need to eat and sleep and work, I am
unable to respond to everyone's requests. I apologize to those I have
not responded to and hope to be able to get back to you as soon as
possible. I hope to create a "Researching Interracial Topics" page in
the near future.

For now, your best bet as to obtaining info on the topic is to talk
to your local librarian! He/she can help you, trust me. And I
promise they won't even shush you....

Want the whole world to know you're proud to be hapa? Go buy a t-shirt from
CelebrAsian!
(P.S.--They make this stuff to give back to the Asian-American community--give
them a hand!)

Blurred Racial Lines of Famous Families
Think you can't get any whiter than Heather Locklear? Think again! Check
out PBS' Frontline website devoted to the blurry racial
backgrounds of several famous American and European families.

Who Rules
America?
Bet you didn't know it, but according to National Alliance we're
just one of the many reasons America is going down the tubes. According
to them, we're "darlings of the media". If they only knew....

Frontline:Secret Daughter
A *must* see for anyone interested in interracial issues, race issues,
and just plain human issues. The story of a African-American/white woman
raised by a black family because she looked "too black" to be raised by
her white mother. This show said it all.

Mardi Gras Indians
Think that interracialism is a 20th-Century thing? Guess again. This
photdocumentary illustrates a 100-year old African-American/Native American
ritual performed during Mardi Gras. Too beautiful for words....

Want to contribute to science? Or just make a quick $10 with the
possibility of winning a $100 savings bond? Karen and Pata Suyemoto are
looking for Amerasians to participate in their
study. Visit their site for more details.

Lori Ono is looking for individuals who have a Japanese-American
parent AND a European-American parent for a dissertation study. E-mail Lori at
lojo@concentric.net for more details.

Association for MultiEthnic
Americans
Did anyone think about organizing before the 1990s? Yes! AMEA
has been around since 1988 and promotes formation of
multiethnic/interracial groups at the
local level. Interested? Give them a look-see!

The NAACP treads cautiously on this ground, but what it boils down to
(in their opinion) is that in the political arena, it's literally black or
white.

Bill of Rights for
Racially Mixed People
At last! After years of putting up with people demanding that I explain
my ethnic background, it's nice to know there's others who decided not to
put up with it.

Project RACE
Join the advocates for multiracial children and adults in their
drive to have society accept our multiracial heritage. Of special
importance is their dedication in alerting us to the importance of the national bone marrow
donor program for those of multiethnic backgrounds.

Interracial Interactions Thread
Originally a list gathered by instructors for a class, it's a great list
of books and plays that deals with not only biracial people, but how people
react to others of another race.
